As we think about the future of democracy, this instalment of Sundance's "Big Conversation" series builds on the previous two iterations of Kimberlé W. Crenshaw’s The Story of Us, and explores how cinematic storytelling has long been, and continues to be, critical to shaping the contours of democratic inclusion. Who gets to be a hero or a villain in popular depictions of American life? Who gets written out of the story altogether? And how do Hollywood portrayals influence the amount political power that various demographics of Americans hold in real life? Featuring W Kamau Bell, the 2023 Sundance Vanguard Award winner, comic, and television host Holly Cook Macarro, Tribal Advocate & Political Strategist Jason Stanley, author and Jacob Urowsky Professor of Philosophy at Yale University Roger Ross Williams, Academy Award-winning Director, Writer, and Producer Hosted by Kimberlé Crenshaw (@sandylocks) Produced by Sr Producer Nicole Edwards Mixing by Sean Dunnam Support provided by the African American Policy Forum Music by Blue Dot Sessions Follow us at @intersectionalitymatters (X), @IMKC_podcast (Instagram)
